Gawith Hoggarth Balkan Mixture Loose Pipe tobacco 25g

Akin to Balkan Sobranie which has been discontinued.

One of the most popular Balkan blends produced in the UK. Comprised of a mixture of flue and sun cured Virginias with a generous helping of Cypriot Latakia. Unlike most other Balkan blends, this is made with only the single Oriental, Latakia, and makes no use of other Oriental or Turkish tobaccos. The blend still has the spicy taste thanks to the dark air cured Indian tobacco.

From the pouch this beautiful looking ribbon mixture, has a deep and smoky aroma. The ribbon cuts makes for easy packing and lighting. Of course it’s the smoking is where it matters and this blend doesn’t disappoint. The blend is very smooth and packed full of spicy, leathery, smoky and slightly salty flavours. Smokes cool thanks to the Dark Virginias and Latakia, and remains smooth even if smoked too hard.

Now owned by Havana House, the business was started in the late 1800s by Maurice Shave in Newbury. The Reading shop was opened in the 1990s by the then owner, Paul Gilmour. He later changed its name from M. Shave (Tobacconist) to Shave & Coster as a tribute to Marlow tobacconist Alan Coster. The shop was family run until Paul retired in 2018.
